BOOM: Pro-Gun Group Drops the Legal HAMMER on Crooked, Anti-Gun State

A pro-gun group aligned with the National Rifle Association filed a federal lawsuit on Wednesday against California State Attorney General Kamala Harris and Los Angeles Sheriff James McDonnell, demanding that they immediately implement true open carry laws.

The group initially tried to have the rule revoked and was successful when a a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with it in 2014.

However, when the court met again this past June — this time in full, or “en banc” — it revoked the previous ruling and ruled in favor of California.

But the association has fired back by arguing that the continuation of the concealed carry rule infringes on the Second Amendment rights of California citizens — and therefore concealed carry laws must be scrapped altogether in favor of open carry.

“Because California law prohibits the plaintiffs and other law-abiding citizens from openly carrying a firearm, and because (California) denies them the only lawful means of carrying a concealed firearm, they are ‘completely barred from exercising their right to bear arms — in any manner,'” the CRPA wrote in a statement, quoting from its own suit.

“The court will have to answer, once and for all, whether the Second Amendment protects the right of law-abiding citizens to carry a firearm for self-defense and, if so, which carry restrictions must be stricken,” it added.

The battle lines have been drawn, and the war to maintain Second Amendment rights in California just got very real. Be wary, though, because if Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton winds up in the White House next year, this war may need to be extended to every state across the union.
